Spend an evening in conversation with actor Rupert Everett.

The director and author will make a rare appearance at Messums Wiltshire near Tisbury this April 23 for a charity event. It will be a chance to hear stories from his career.

Guests will be greeted with welcome drinks at the restored 13th century tithe barn near Tisbury.

A reception with light bites and the chance to view the contemporary Canadian Ceramics ‘No Boundaries’ exhibition will follow the main event.

The charity evening is kindly being sponsored by The Compleat Food Group, with all proceeds going to Rupert’s chosen charity, the Julia’s House Children’s Hospice.

The three-time BAFTA award nominee has been a Patron for Julia’s House since the charity launched an appeal to open Wiltshire’s only purpose-built children’s hospice in Devizes in 2017.

Salisbury Journal:

The charity provides a lifeline for the most seriously ill children and their families in Wiltshire and Dorset.

Rupert said: “Julia’s House is incredibly important, particularly to families who are trying to survive as a family. Even if life is short it can still be full of enormous quality and meaning. I think that’s what Julia’s House can bring to a family.”

Rupert has starred in a number of high profile Hollywood films, including the 1984 drama Another Country, alongside Julia Roberts in My Best Friend’s Wedding, and in the dual role of Camilla and Carnaby Fritton in the 2007 St Trinian’s remake.

More recently the 62-year-old wrote, directed and starred in the Oscar Wilde biopic, The Happy Prince.

This year, the actor is bringing a new screenplay to life with the upcoming film, Lost and Found in Paris.

Based on Rupert’s true-life experiences in 1970s Paris, the 2022 film will star John Malkovich, Kristen Scott Thomas, Kit Clarke, and Rupert himself in a supporting role.

An evening with Rupert Everett is being hosted at Messums Wiltshire on Saturday April 23, from 6.30pm to 9pm.

Tickets cost £50 per person, to include drinks and canapes and a private view of the contemporary Canadian Ceramics ‘No Boundaries’ exhibition. Book tickets at messumswiltshire.com
